Why Can't We All Just Get Along

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In a desire to rock prime time our fearless leader B-Rock Obama took to the airwaves. After a quick apology to fans of the Bachelorette for the interruption it was down to business. "Congress is at a stalemate over raising the federal debt ceiling, and Americans need to pressure their elected representatives to work out a compromise that will avoid a potentially devastating default," B-Rock echoed Monday Night. "The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn't vote for a dysfunctional government," B-Rock said. We at The Lemon think that if the USA was a business it would have put the closed sign up years ago. People today just want free stuff and don't want to pay nor work. So if they are never forced to they never will.  Most of us are smart enough to figure out this simple problem the government if facing if you are broke, you cut spending, maybe you have to give up your daily cup of five dollar Starbucks and get the fifty cent coffee from the super 1 station that tastes like ashes. Government leaders can't figure out how to do this with the spending of our tax dollars because guess what, most of them are loaded with $$$ and have never had to give up their daily coffee to cut costs. They will never get annoyed with the high gas prices cause with the money we pay them they will always be able to afford it. To bad we can't get back to government by the people, you know the middle class people our leaders are always talking about helping. Most of them could probably come to a solution to this problem in no time. Entitlements are nothing more than modern day slavery to keep people from voting a certain way, because they are addicted to free stuff. Lets cut the addiction, recovery is tough but can be done.
